Everyday Systems

Lets see. Thursday was kind of not-a-success - bfast and lunch went fine, then for some reason at dinner.... it was just not enough so I had eral seconds. But one of the main things I was thinking as I broke the rule was that my S days would not taste as sweet having broken the No-S weekday rule. Fr...

8 am - Hot grain cereal w blueberries n walnuts 1 pm - Salad and half a fish filet w tartar sauce and half a pb sandwich 7 pm - Frozen salisbury steak (it was tiny!) and mac-n-cheese (such small portions!) dinner and frozen spinach and a half pb sandwich and a yogurt A GRAND SUCCESS! rofl. Still I a...

I think you deserve many kudos for even attempting to make it through on a small meal. That's the only way to figure out what the limits and minimums are. I am not ready for that step yet. Still on the fairly maximum plates here! But I take hope...

Maybe on the home water planet, the massive amounts of delicious krill we strain in through our baleen will be handled perfectly by our superior giant squid bodies... One can dream...

Busy busy busy w work, 12 hour days etc. ... this makes no snacking much easier for me. B - Hot grain cereal with pb only, no banana, therefore much inferior. The no banana was caused by some animal that is getting into my kitchen. She/he has droppings larger than a mouse and pried open the banana a...

Hi RocketGal! You are SO good! If I make a meal that is too small then I am immediately entitled, I believe by Federal Statute I8-IT and the no-snacking bylaws therein, to whatever additional food and sustenance that makes it into an adequate meal. I am very impressed! You deserve double-green days,...

B - hot 7 grain with pb and bananer L - soup, bagel, yogurt D - Couscous with Moroccan chicken. I did kind of have seconds. But I blame the dish itself. It is the first time I made it, so I had no idea how much I needed to be satisfied. A cup of couscous and two chicken thighs was not enough. Bad, b...

Thanks RocketGal! I see we both have outer space monikers. Yay us! Oh, unless your rocket is an inside-the-atmosphere rocket, like a bomb-the-enemy rocket or a jetpack-to-work rocket. Didn't think of that.... lol. I will assume for now its a David Bowie Rocket-Man Rocket. Yes, the no-its-not-dessert...

Hi ShannahR - You made me laugh now. I had no clue I could freeze a pie or a pie part. That will really help prevent me from eating some unusual S-day dinners now, thanks!

8.00 am Breakfast - Two whole wheat pancakes, 3 breakfast sausage, maple syrup. 11.00 am Snack - left over whole wheat pancake 4.00 pm Lunch - I got involved in work and missed any regular time for food. Had a salad and ham/1-slice-swiss/whole wheat sandwich. Very full. 8.00 pm Dessert Dinner - Dinn...

8.00 am breakfast - 3 scrambled eggs with green pepper and onion, two slices toast, four links breakfast sausage. Big ol' plate. I almost added a slice of Swiss cheese to the eggs, then decided I wasn't all that hungry! 10.00 am - Still doing fine a couple hours later. 12.00 noon - Finished a half h...

7.00 am. Weighed myself. I wasn't going to, because the last thing I need is to see that I've gained weight. I'm trying to focus on just getting into the habit first, as people seem to recommend. I was planning on not weighing myself for a couple weeks. Well I did, and I haven't lost -- but I haven'...

Day 4. Similar to yesterday. I think about my next meal all the time (doesn't help that I work at home). The worst is between lunch and dinner ... From about 1.30 to 7... But, I did have an upsetting phone call around 3 pm and while that kind of messed up the rest of the day in terms of getting work...

8:00 am - Breakfast is Bob's Red Mill 10 grain cereal with toasted walnuts and frozen blueberries AND two slices of bacon. 12 noon - getting hungry. I hour to go. Will have mug of decaf green tea and make it thru! 1:15 pm - Made it. Lunch is large salad with tuna and 1/2 pb sandwich. 2:00 pm - feeli...

Starla - thanks so much for the welcome and encouragement - I'm reading your thread and I am taking more encouragement from it! I hope Mario is ok.

I came across the No S diet last week, and on Saturday (timing is everything!) switched from my low-cal diet. Both low cal and Atkins diets have worked to an extent in the past, but I dislike the nutrient-free, processed foods I eat on low calorie diets (Lite Cheez, Lite Yo-Gurt, Sugar Free Glop) an...
